Well, here's one girl who did mow the lawn! I enjoyed it. We had an electric lawn mower. True lawn fanatics will tell you electric mowers are no good - it's gotta be a gas-powered Lawnboy. Well, now I have a gas-powered Lawnboy (that was left by the previous owner of the house) and it's old, and it's stinky, and it's almost impossible to start the damn thing. It cuts the lawn just fine, but I can't stand the stink - if I try to mow the lawn on an empty stomach, I throw up (isn't that a lovely image?) If I can get the cash together, I'll get rid of it and get an electric that does an OK job, or even one of the manual push mowers - I love the sound they make, and the smell of fresh-mown grass is so wonderful. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
